As parts of the Royal Project Foundation’s work, new processed food products are continuously developed from raw materials and ingredients produced by farmers and hill tribes to help distribute excess supplies to and increase demands of agricultural products in the market. With assistant from professors and experts from various universities and private sectors, by-products / processed products are researched and produced with high-quality standard as well as safety concern for consumers, and according to safety and standards of the Thai FDA regulations. With the brand of the Royal Project, it already has competitive advantage over competitors. However, these products have still not yet formulated any business plan and the stories have not been communicated widely enough to end-consumers. Also, it is essential to guarantee to the farmers the production volume in order for them to plan the agricultural production in advance (usually a year ahead). With the business plan, it would give a clear direction for any future decision making on these products. The required business plan should involve the areas from Product Design, Feasibility Studies, Costing & Financial Projection, Launch Plan and Implementations.

...20 Reasons Why You Need a Business Plan
Categories:
* Business Planning
1. To prove that you’re serious about your business. A formal business plan is necessary to show all interested parties -- employees, investors, partners and yourself -- that you are committed to building the business.
2. To establish business milestones. The business plan should clearly lay out the long-term milestones that are most important to the success of your business. To paraphrase Guy Kawasaki, a milestone is something significant enough to come home and tell your spouse about (without boring him or her to death). Would you tell your spouse that you tweaked the company brochure? Probably not. But you'd certainly share the news that you launched your new website or reached $1M in annual revenues.
3. To better understand your competition. Creating the business plan forces you to analyze the competition. All companies have competition in the form of either direct or indirect competitors, and it is critical to understand your company's competitive advantages.
4. To better understand your customer. Why do they buy when they buy? Why don’t they when they don't? An in-depth customer analysis is essential to an effective business plan and to a successful business.
5. To enunciate previously unstated assumptions. The process of actually writing the business plan helps to bring previously "hidden" assumptions to the foreground. By writing them down and assessing them, you can test them......

Business Plan for a Startup Business
The business plan consists of a narrative and several financial worksheets. The narrative template is the body of the business plan. It contains more than 150 questions divided into several sections. Work through the sections in any order that you like, except for the Executive Summary, which should be done last. Skip any questions that do not apply to your type of business. When you are finished writing your first draft, you’ll have a collection of small essays on the various topics of the business plan. Then you’ll want to edit them into a smooth‐flowing narrative. The real value of creating a business plan is not in having the finished product in hand; rather, the value lies in the process of researching and thinking about your business in a systematic way. The act of planning helps you to think things through thoroughly, study and research if you are not sure of the facts, and look at your ideas critically. It takes time now, but avoids costly, perhaps disastrous, mistakes later. This business plan is a generic model suitable for all types of businesses. However, you should modify it to suit your particular circumstances. Before you begin, review the section titled Refining the Plan, found at the end. It suggests emphasizing certain areas depending upon your type of business (manufacturing, retail, service, etc.). It also has tips for fine‐tuning your plan to make an effective presentation to investors or bankers. If this is why......
